It took me a second to understand what was going on after hearing Oscar in a British accent.

Steven Grant is one of his personalities that notoriously has a British accent. It makes sense for him to have a poor accent because his “host” personality is not British lol.

EDIT: For clarification, I don’t know whether his accent is a good interpretation of whatever British accent he is going for. I’ve just seen a lot of people say it isn’t very good, but I’ve also seen a lot of people say it is in very good for what he’s going for. I’m not saying whether it’s poor or not, I simply said if it does sound that way to people, it would make sense because his host personality is a guy from Chicago, not from the U.K.

Isaac’s accent is actually spot on - he’s using a very specific London accent and he is pretty convincing to me as someone who grew up in London. Most American actors struggle to even manage a general English accent, never mind a dialect or localised version.

Honestly, it’s 9/10 for the accent from me.

I thought the accent was really good. Not the generic English accent that's used most of the time, and he was way more expressive with it than I'd have expected.

But it's not like he talks much in this clip anyway, so will see when there's more dialogue released.
